Complaints- these are all deal breaking and all possible in Google Docs

No F4 functionality to switch absolute vs relative reference in formulas.

Drag to select won't let me select data other than what is on screen. If I have 100 rows of data, I can only drag select what I can see on screen.

Shift+Ctrl+Arrow Key or just Shift+Arrow Key for that matter. This needs to be supported to make navigation easier.

@Confused and Ignorant, You can download attachments and skip Office Web Apps by clicking the download link in the email. The UI Is a bit finicky because the box surrounding the download link is also clickable and opens the web app. We are aware of the issue and will improve the UI but hopefully you will now be able to successfully download your files.

Hello, when did you started the WebApps functionality at SkyDrive for German customers and WindowsLive users?

It would be great to integrate Web Apps with inexpensive email hosting (goodbye GoogleDocs!) to offer America's public schools a way to reduce licensing costs, storage, network hardware costs, etc., in this era of diminishing funding and cutbacks. At first glance, Office Web Apps seem to work well for the casual user and/or learner. Perhaps elementary schools (K-5) would be a good target audience for something like this? My biggest concerns for this proposal would be security measures to keep kids safe and administrative/archiving tools/services. Definitely looking forward to watching WebApps evolve, turning a good thing into something really great for American schools!

Hi, I can't seem to find the web apps, where are they hidden? In Windows Live there is no link and I can only edit, copy and move existing word documents. I've noticed some links in the Office menu, but when I click "new Word document" I get: "This item might not exist or is no longer available

This item might have been deleted, expired, or you might not have permission to view it. Contact the owner of this item for more information. " What's going on?

I uploaded a 30 MB word doc but when I try to edit it online, it comes back and says Word Web app cannot open this document because its size is too big. I thought that the limit is 50 MB. Is something wrong here?
